Following up on our conversation last Wednesday on how exactly are we 
going to translate our notion of "anytime this day" into something 
iCalendar can deal with...

I'm looking into different "cheap" alternatives for the date/time 
widget and I just wanted to make sure I had a somewhat sane 
understanding of what constitutes "cheap".

Is it expensive for us to have to translate what the user types into a 
time field if the options are limited?

For example: if we have 2 fields: one for "start date/time" and one for 
"end date/time"...can the user just type in an "end time" and have 
Chandler figure out what the "end date" should be?

start date/time: Feb 22, 2005 6PM
end time: 10PM (=Feb 22, 2005 10PM)

start date/time: Feb 22, 2005 6PM
end time: 3AM (=Feb 23, 2005 3AM)
